British Cycling have been unable to prove that the mystery package used to treat Bradley Wiggins at the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine contained the legal decongestant, Fluimucil.
The governing body had promised that records of the medical substances used by British Cycling would have been kept and offered to provide a paper trail to the culture, media and sport select committee last week.
However the Times and Daily Mail have now revealed that British Cycling President Bob Howden has written to members of parliament on the committee to tell them that British Cycling ‘understand’ that the jiffy bag contained Fluimucil. The contents of the package had been shrouded in mystery for several months, with the courier Simon Cope even telling Cyclingnews that he was unaware of the contents. However, Team Sky’s Dave Brailsford told the select committee that he was told by British Cycling doctor Richard Freeman that the package contained Fluimucil.

According to the Times and Daily Mail, British Cycling also wrote to the committee to tell them that they were unable to access their own documentation because they ‘are locked down by UK Anti-Doping [Ukad] investigators.’ UKAD are currently investigating an allegation of wrong-doing between British Cycling and Team Sky. At a committee hearing earlier in December, Team Sky’s Shane Sutton confirmed that the contents of the package had been administered to Bradley Wiggins by British Cycling’s doctor, Richard Freeman.
